After an upset win over Bobby Lashley to earn a GFW World Heavyweight Championship shot, Matt Sydal looks to take on the champion Eli Drake, who overcame the odds in his own right by running the table in a gauntlet match to win the title. The two faced off with the belt on the line in the main event of this week's Impact Wrestling.

Sydal used quickness early, but a slam from Drake saw him take control as he overpowered him into the corner and worked him down. Chris Adonis accompanied Drake to the ring and got involved early, taking a baseball slide to allow Drake to maintain momentum going into the break. Drake continued to control with a neckbreaker and faked using a chair, but he went up top and got caught by a Sydal Frankensteiner that set up the comeback for the challenger. Adonis tried to stop a comeback sliding both a chair and the title into the ring, causing the referee to get rid of the chair first and Drake to whiff with the belt. Sydal laid him out and looked for the Shooting Star Press, but Adonis on the apron got Sydal to dive on him. The referee looked to show Adonis out to the floor and Drake made sure he didn't miss a second time with the title to get the win.

Taryn Terrell and GFW Knockouts Champion Sienna teamed up against Allie and Gail Kim in tag action and Gail was left isolated by Sienna and Terrell. After Gail fought up to make the hot tag to Allie, Aliie came in like a house of fire before KM got a hold of her ankle as she made her way up top. Braxton Sutter ran out and brawled with KM to the back and Allie connected on a crossbody off the top. Unfortunately, Sienna rolled through and used the tights to pick up the win, but it didn't stop there as Sienna and Terrell put the boots to Gail and Allie. Rosemary came out and fought the two off before Taya Valkyrie ran out to even the numbers, but it was only temporary as Taya planted Rosemary with a facebuster.

In other action, Petey Williams and Sonjay Dutt were able to defeat Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley when Williams connected on a Canadian Destroyer and Dutt followed up with a splash, while GFW World Tag Team Champions LAX made quick work of Jon Bolen and Zachary Wentz and were called out by oVe, who said LAX claims to be a family but they have been tag partners since birth. Konnan challenged them to come to CRASH Lucha Libre because LAX makes the rules and oVe accepted the challenge.

Speaking of LAX, they again made a meeting with Jim Cornette as Cornette came out to talk GFW business. Johnny Impact interrupted Cornette to ask for a title shot and LAX made their presence felt for Low-Ki. Ki told Impact that this wasn't WWE or Lucha Underground and a brawl ensued, where Cornette cleared the ring by saying suspensions would be handed out and he announced after that Ki and Impact will face each other for a GFW world title shot next week.

Grado broke things off with Laurel Van Ness after being advised by Joseph Park and it led to Laurel smearing her makeup across her face, perhaps signalling another breakdown for the twice-scorned Van Ness.

Video packages addressed GFW at TripleMania and AAA/Lucha Underground/s Sexy Star breaking Rosemary's arm and the argument that ensued between Jeff Jarrett and La Parka backstage, as well as Eddie Edwards winning the GHC title in NOAH.

Impact next week will feature the number one contender's match between Johnny Impact and Low-Ki as well as footage from CRASH Lucha Libre between LAX and oVe.
